Hello Rocksmith fans!
Looks like next week is going to be a mixed bag of songs, but so far we only know one of them.
The hint was posted on the Ubisoft Forums, Reddit, @Rocksmithgame, and @UbisoftStudioSF!
jayrocksd had a great eye and totally knew what music video this jumble was referencing!
dat solo doe!
@DanAmrich confirmed this song and other not yet announced Arena Rock singles (not Def Leppard) in next week’s release.
So that’s about all we have so far, what Arena Rock songs would you hope to see next week? Is this the 80s Hair Metal you’ve been waiting for? Let us know!
A whole bunch of Triumph would be great. Rik Emmet is an amazing guitarist. Another Rush pack would be cool as long as it was their older material like from 2112 or Fly By Night, etc.
For some reason my last comment is awaiting moderation but while I sit here playing RS I’m just thinking this genre will be forever linked to the ‘power ballad’ that would have been a guilty pleasure DLC pack so hopefully someday….another true guilty pleasure song from this genre would be ‘Smooth up in ya’ by the Bulletboys…
Well autograph was definitely an “opening act” but poison was a headliner and winger’s first two studio albums went platinum so if I can speculate on openers…
Slaughter
Cinderella
Extreme
Firehouse
White Lion
Great White
Faster Pussycat
Dangerous Toys
Queensryche would be amazing and Dokken, Dio and WASP would fucking rock too….
I see we have three confirmed songs so far, and all are great.
I saw a comment from Dan over on the DLC forums stating that, while their definition of “arena rock” covered rock bands who were able to sell out said arenas, there were also a band or two that might have been considered more of an “opening band” in popularity.
Hearing that, I’d love it if Wishbone Ash made it in– they sold out huge arenas and also opened for bands like the Who and Kansas before they fizzled out of the limelight. Twin guitars, catchy as hell bass, and prog goodness would fit this game like a glove.
Loverboy – Turn Me Loose
Skid Row – 18 And Life
Whitesnake – Crying In The Rain
Dokken – Into The Fire
Grand Funk Railroad – We’re An American Band
Night Ranger – (You Can Still Rock In America)
Def Leppard – Let’s Get Rocked
Pick 2 of these (or anything by NR period) and I’ll be happy!
I’m pretty excited for this singles set. The three (out of five) songs announced so far all have some wicked guitar in them. For those metal people complaining about easy guitar parts, I’d like to see people master these. My fingers hurt already.
So we have for sure:
Winger- Seventeen
Poison- Nothin’ But a Good Time
Autograph- Turn Up the Radio
I think the other two are:
Night Ranger- Sister Christian
Warrant- Cherry Pie
I thought about who would be best served by a single pack, and that’s what I’m thinking. Though, I would like to see “Here I Go Again” and/or “Still of the Night” by Whitesnake later too…
be a shame if ‘Sister Christian’ gets nod over “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” or “Rock in America”
Winger – (She’s only) Seventeen confirmed
Sweeeeet. That’ll be a lot of fun!
We better get Sister Christian in this one
Night Ranger has much better songs than that one
But that one’s a classic man! Who doesn’t love that intro riff!
Poison!! I would like talk dirty me
Well, this is sad and surprising, only HA and I got Nothing But A Good Time right.
Now we await #3! I’m excited about Poison though, but for the reason that this is the only song I would buy from them. Now I can get it as a single. Woo!
I don’t know why these came to mind, but REO Speedwagon and Starship keep coming to mind. I don’t think they are Arena rock at all, but it won’t go away.
So PLEASE get the last 3 songs outed so I can erase these tracks from my mind!
REO Speedwagon is very Arena Rock. I half expect something in the final two to be more hard rock than hair metal, since they didn’t call it a hair metal pack.
When I think arena rock, I think of the Scorpions, Also Nova, Loverboy, Golden Earring… Well, I actually think of some other arguably bigger names, but these seem likely. Outside of the Scorpions, I’d be content with just a song or two from the others I listed. Let’s hope no big names are given just a single song!
I’m not a huge fan of Scorpions, but I’d buy some of their songs for my RS..
I think they deserve their own pack. They have MEGA hits that are still airing on radio, I have just heard “Still loving you” few hours ago on a french radio.
not for me this week..
but for those who want to know, it will be a 5 pack.
second confirmed song : Poison – Nothin’ But a good time.
Hope these are just 1 hit wonder bands. We have so many great bands already in the game that only have 1 song and need 3-5 pack!
So, Turn Up The Radion by Autograph
Maybe some :
– Too Young To Fall In Love by Motley Crüe.
– Cum On Feel The Noise by Quiet Riot.
GTA Vice City, V-Rock Radio !
Amen bro
Here I go again on my own…. Daa daa
